Active Directory Penetration Testing
One Compromised Account Shouldn’t Become Your Whole Company
Active Directory is the central nervous system of almost every enterprise. That’s precisely why over 90% of Fortune 1000 companies rely on it, and why nearly every major internal breach targets it. When an attacker breaches an endpoint, they don’t care about that single computer but about using Active Directory to transform a nobody-account into a Domain Admin. Once AD falls, your company gets compromised.
How Active Directory Pentest Exposes Misconfigurations Inside Your Domain
1
Stripping Away Blind Trust
Active Directory is notoriously permissive by default. Legacy configurations, forgotten service accounts, and unconstrained delegation settings pile up over years of IT updates. We analyze your entire AD forest to expose the subtle, interconnected trust relationships that can turn a minor breach into total network exposure.
Tracing Service Accounts and Chasing Kerberoast
Service accounts often carry massive privileges, don’t use multi-factor authentication, and rarely change their passwords. We extract Kerberos tickets right out of thin air. Following this, we take them offline and crack them to harvest cleartext admin credentials without making a single sound on your network.

Exploiting Abuse Paths With BloodHound
Attackers never attack in a straight line. Instead, they follow logical paths of least resistance. We examine hidden permission loops in which User A can reset the password of User B, who owns Group C, which controls Domain Admin privileges. We find the complex domino chains before an adversary knocks over the first piece.
What happens if someone creates a hidden backdoor account inside your directory that survives a full password reset? We test for Shadow Admin privileges, Golden/Silver Kerberos ticket attacks, and DCSync vulnerabilities to ensure an attacker can’t grant themselves permanent, invisible ownership of your domain.
